About Monica Coronel

The Problem I SolveMost organizations don’t struggle because they lack strategy. They struggle because execution breaks down across teams, systems, and decision-making. Priorities pile up. Tools don’t get adopted. Data is technically “there,” but trust and alignment aren’t.I work in the messy middle where strategy meets reality, helping leaders turn complex priorities into clear plans, usable systems, and momentum people can actually sustain.Proof I’ve Done This at ScaleAt PVH, I owned and delivered enterprise digital platforms and operating models that supported global go-to-market execution across brands and regions. My work improved data reliability, cross-team coordination, and day-to-day decision-making, not in theory, but in tools and workflows that senior leaders and frontline teams actually used.At Columbia University, I coach graduate teams through high-ambiguity, multi-stakeholder product and technology initiatives. The focus isn’t shiny solutions, it’s disciplined decision-making, inclusive execution, and delivering under real-world constraints.Outside of corporate and academic settings, I served for over a decade as President of my condominium’s Board of Managers, overseeing capital projects, budgets, vendor relationships, and resident communications. That experience sharpened my instincts around governance, accountability, and building systems that work when people, money, and emotions are all involved.How I’m Most EffectiveI’m at my best in roles that require translating strategy into execution, aligning senior stakeholders, and building the connective tissue that helps complex product, platform, and organizational efforts move forward.My background spans product strategy, operations, IT infrastructure, design, and governance — which means I’m often brought in when things are cross-functional, high-stakes, and slightly stuck.Fluent in Spanish and Italian. Open to roles that blend product leadership, strategy, and meaningful impact.
